What Every College Student Should Know

Just because you live right next to a public (floor) restroom does not mean you should walk barefoot in it. It’s no different than walking around in some nasty ass gas station bathroom. Don’t do it!

If you use Febreze, it means something is not clean. Febreze does not clean, nor does it make something smell clean, try Tide.

Playing your music so loud that everyone can hear it is not cool. Ask any of your neighbors and they will hate you for it.

Don’t bother trying to change someone’s mind about politics. It will only end up in a contest of who can talk louder.

Stealing someone’s towel while they’re in the shower will only be the beginning of a terrible war. Be prepared for wet clothes, sticky door knobs, and every prank in the book.

No matter where you go, you will always have the cocky high school football player in your proximity. Don’t worry though, it’s not high school anymore.

The half cologne, half body odor, half alcohol musk coming from your room not only makes paint peel, it tells anyone walking by to stay away.

College Tip #1: Noise Reducing Headphones

It being my first year in college, I don’t know what to expect really. I have obviously made the mistake of many by bringing to much stuff, but I did remember to bring one useful device, my noise-reducing, over-the-ear headphones.

The first couple of days at school I hadn’t even touched my Skull Candy headphones. They were sitting in their silk bag waiting for a layer of dust to form, until I started coming home with homework. Now, college homework isn’t too difficult, but when you’ve got a hall full of “crazies” running around with a fake cardboard horse, it can be tough (you want to be running around with that horse too). With the Skull Candy’s, I can put them on and kill most of the outer noise around me and leave me in a sort of peace. Even better, I can plug the Skull Candy’s in and listen to some great sounding music to get rid of the outer noise altogether.

My advice? If you have a roommate or even louder neighbors, consider buying a pair of over-the-ear headphones. They don’t have to be Skull Candy’s or even another expensive brand. Just something that will get rid of some noise, so you can focus on getting work done. I find myself wearing headphones with no music playing, just to get rid of the noise.
